Capability Summary	On Android, multidimensional tables let you set a column as a business field from the header editing entry, with types such as currency, progress, rating, percentage, hyperlink, email, checkbox, and barcode.	Microsoft Lists provides structured list columns and formatting for record management, but its public product page focuses more on list management and collaboration at a high level.	Google Sheets supports spreadsheet entry, formatting, links, and checkbox-style workflows, but business-style field expression usually depends on combining formatting and validation features.	Notion databases support multiple property types for project and business information management in a lightweight database workflow.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF documents and forms rather than multidimensional table field configuration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS groups multiple business-oriented field types in one column-type entry for direct per-column setup. Distinct: the Android path is straightforward because you can start from the table header and finish the setup in one flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes list-based column management and collaboration, while public guidance is less centered on Android table-header field switching for this scenario.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes general spreadsheet formatting, so similar results often require combining several spreadsheet features.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible database properties, but the workflow is database-property oriented rather than spreadsheet-style header editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF and form workflows, not the same type of multidimensional table field setup.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to set amount, progress, link, status, or contact-oriented column types directly on Android, WPS provides a more direct field setup path inside a multidimensional table workflow. Other products can cover part of the need in spreadsheet, database, or PDF scenarios, but their focus and setup paths are different.

Use Cases

1	Sales amount tracking	Sales and operations teams	Amounts are not displayed in a consistent format	Set the column as a currency field
